Originally posted by Pogle View PostOn my weekly commute I encounter lots of sets of road works with average speed cameras and I move into the first lane sit behind a lorry and comply with the speed limit of 50mph.
BUT I am always getting over taken and it seems that only half of the cars are doing 50, the rest seem to be going much faster. Am I missing something? does 50mph mean up to 60 or something?
I'm just surprised that so many cars seem to whizz through the cameras, I'm not going to put it to the test - as I'm sure someone will suggest
Has anyone been caught speeding on one of these average speed thingies ?
At the last count I went through 7 sets of these from Manchester to SwindonGuy Fawkes - "The last man to enter Parliament with honourable intentions."Comment

I believe the situation has now changed a bit, paired cameras in a controlled zone are enough, if you can be certain of passing each camera in a zone in a different lane you are ok because pairing will fail.Comment
